Is this punishment mom gave me fair?

Question

Im, my mom makes wear bras that give much support and coverage, she says I need them. But I don't enjoy them, especially now that it's summer. I wishI could wear other bras but mom is stubborn. I fought a lot w/ mom over this, got grounded a few times for being disrespectful. Sunday I really lost my temper, got a pair of scissors and in front my mom cut up the bras she gave me. I know this was wrong, apologized but my mom got REALLY mad at me. Punishment: She took me to a lingerie store and got me those bras called long line that covers all of your torso and back have 10 hooks in the back, all of them made of very thich material. I'll have to wear them till Oct 1st, EVERYDAY,They are kinda uncomfortable, much worse than my other bras. I gotta wear all the time, except in bed. Dont you agree this punishment is too harsh and unfair? What do I do now? They make me sweat, I HATE them! Those hooks make me MAD! but I dont know if mom will back off

Answer 1

Usually when I answer a question about punishment being fair, I think it is fair. But not this time. Your punishment is way too harsh. I'm really surprised your Mom would even make you wear a certain kind of bra, she has some kind of issue. As long as your not big-chested, you should be able to wear the kind of bras you want. If you are big-chested then you do need more coverage and support. As you already know you should not have cut up your bra, but the punishment does not fit the crime. I don't know what you can do about it, maybe try to apologize again and see if she cuts you a break. Good luck.

It's probably a bit over the top but have you checked out teh price tags on any of these bras you cut up? Bras are not cheap in any way. Next time I'm sure you will think before you cut up something that she bought you. Maybe after a month of wearing them you could compromise and ask her to wear regular bras again and promise to make do and get used to them and never ever cut them again. Maybe ask if you could go bra shopping with her so you can try o a few different bras so you find some more comfortable ones that fit. I nkow JC penney usually has really good deals on really nice bras.

Well well well so the little girl doesn't like something so she DESTROYS it huh? and then doesn't like the punishment so she's going to try to ask people HERE what she should do to UNDERMIND her MOTHER... that's mature... NOT. Listen, you may not like the punishment but I'm pretty sure your MOTHER didn't like the fact that she spent GOOD MONEY for those bras you took a scissor to. She wants to make sure her daughter is COVERED at all times---I don't have a daughter (I had a son), but my friend has a 10 year old girl who is already well into development and she REFUSES to buy this girl a bra--and she DEFINITELY NEEDS ONE.!!!! Kids are already starting to make fun of her because she is NOT covered in that area...she also may not want you to turn into a little slut and she MAY feel that showing ones' boobs is a sure sign of that... she's your mom, RESPECT her--you didn't and now you are paying the consequences.... be happy you only have to wear those thick heavy bras all summer and not for the rest of your life!!!! And I would SUGGEST that you OBEY your mother's rules since you live in HER house and SHE is the one supporting YOU!!!!! Some day, you may have your OWN little girl.... maybe you will REMEMBER this when SHE is the age you are now....

Answer 4

Thick bras cost money, real money. Try $20-50 each. And if your mother thinks you need them, you probably do. And if you just cut up just five bras, that's about $100-250, you've only got another three months to go. I'm not sure if it's fair or not, but you really did take a chunk of change out of her wallet and you were really complaining over nothing. Trust me, I know people who have bras that are too thin and have to wear five layers UNDER their normal shirts so you can't see anything. It could be worse. I can't tell you if the punishment is fair, but there's nothing that anyone on Yahoo! Answers can do about it. If I were you, I'd just stick it out until it's over.

Answer 5

I think the biggest questions are how old you are, and whether you're actually showing anyone your undergarments. I'm 26 and very well-endowed. I absolutely HATE being without a bra that doesn't support me. If you have an allowance, maybe you should talk to your mom about letting you talk to a lingerie specialist (most department stores have them), and buy them yourself. The specialist will measure you and provide you with the accurate information you need to not only find bras that are comfortable for you, but also ones that you can feel confident in wearing. Moms aren't experts on their daughter's bodies and what's comfortable for her may not be comfortable for you. Talk to your mom and try to convince her to let you get your proper measurements and find something you both can agree on. Bras aren't ONLY designed to be pretty....they're supposed to be comfortable too. Good luck.

Answer 6

Well you shouldn't have cut the first ones up, do you realize how expensive bras are? I'm a mother and my child and I both have large breasts, she needs the support too, I spend money that I don't usually have to get my daughter the best supportive bras I can afford, which is hard because I need them too, if my kid did that, I'd be more than pissed off. Wear the punishment bras and apologize to your mother for throwing her hard earned money away. Next time go with her to the store and have a mother daughter shopping trip where you can try on many bras and meet in the middle

Answer 7

your mom really shouldnt care what style of bras you wear. Its your decision. But it was very disrespectful to cut the bras up. Try to talk to her or compromise (like you will wear the old bras until you are 15, 16 or whatever if she allows you to stop wearing the full coverage bras in Aug)

Answer 8

The punishment your mother gave you is unfair and cruel. I really wouldn't see why she would force you to wear those bras in the first place. Talk to your mom and reason with her. Ask her why she wants you to only wear those special bras(not the ones for the punishment). Other then that I can offer nothing more but wish you good luck.

Answer 9

First of all, you were disrespectful of your mother. So, you deserve punishment - sorry, but if all you did was apologize and you received no punishment, you would never learn your lesson. You should think about what you did wrong instead of being angry at your mom.
However, other bras are acceptable, depending on the type and your age.

Answer 10

It seems a little harsh to me. It's going to be to hot of a summer for you to be wearing something like that, which could make it worse for someone to be out in the heat. You need to sit your mom down and have an adult conversation about this.
